Following up their excellent album of space-sliced psych from last year, L.A.’s Hoover III return with a new single on French enclave Six Tonnes De Chair. Starting with a riff that scratches the ol’ runes of Sabbath in the sand, the band proceeds to drive the track in a lighter direction, welding the heavy guitar chug to echo-dripped harmonies. The track doesn’t just troll for grooves, though. As they arc into the second half the band stompboxes the warp drive and takes “Fathom” through a few layers of cosmos. Hoover III have been working a particularly potent strain of Space Rock in their first couple of releases, and if this new single is an indicator of where they’re headed, then the next LP threatens to be one to watch out for. In the meantime, this is a good reminder to shake the earthly tether once in a while.

A track from upcoming 7″ album, “Fathom” by Hooveriii.

Los Angeles hard-working heavy-metalloids Hooveriii might have more in common with Simply Saucer than Sabbath, but that just means they really know how to make a riff into a revelation—especially if they’re using their synthesizer. Last year’s self-titled album was as much space exploration as space rock, and now they’re making contact again with the cheerfully cosmic new “Fathom” single.

B-side “I Dream Of Mark Lee” is like one of those heartwarming Michael Rother autobahn instrumentals with an injection of Pink Fairies/Hawkwind/Larry Wallis guitar nitro. Or, says Hooveriii mainmind Bert Hoover, it’s like “instrumental Peter Green meets Neu!-like chugging jam filled with soaring guitar. A dancing number for the good times! Dedicated to our good friend, Eel Kram, who is warm in our hearts.”
